Calvin L. Rampton said in . ; a statement released this morning. The governor, himself an attorney, said, Certainly this was not a premeditated murder. Rather it appears to fit the pattern of voluntary manslaughter defined as kill- -. ing upon a sudden quarrel or in ihe heat of passion. While the classic case of voluntary manslaughter -- ; usually arises in a private quarrel, there is no reason that f it could not apply as well to the battle situation that prer ' vailed at My Lai. The Calley case will automatically be reviewed by ; the Court of Military Appeals. I sincerely hope that this substantial injustice will be remedied by that court, and if not, by the President under his powers of commuta; ' -- FT. BENNING, GA. (AP) His fight for life won, Lt. William L. Calley Jr. turns now to a battle for freedom from life in prison, a sentence that can be tempered only by reviewing authorities. Calley, 27, was spared the death penalty Wednesday by the same military jury which convicted him Monday of the murder of 22 Vietnamese men, women and children during the My Lai massacre three years ago. The sentence will be subject to automatic review through a procedure that could take at least a year and possibly as long as five years. After exhausting its remedies within the military judicial system, to as high as the U.S. Court of Military Appeals, the defense would have recourse to civil courts. President Nixon could at any time pardon Calley or reduce his sentence, although there has been no indication he would do so. and Primary Mrs. Lucile C.

Hoffa, serving an eight-yea- K; r jury tampering sentence, will retain the title of union president for several more months, but Teamsters sources said he will almost certainly be replaced at the unions July convention in Miami Beach, Fla. A new Teamsters president also could mean early negotiations for a return of the Teamsters to the main body of American which labor, the AFL-CIexpelled Hoffas union in 1957 on corruption charges. Acting Teamsters President Frank E. Fitzsimmons, Hoffas old Detroit sidekick stand-in- , and is rated the frontrunner to suchand-picke- ' s TV-T!- d '& mt. ill $!' 1 ?rf M Jr- ceed Hoffa in his own right Hoffa will not become eligible for parole again until June 1972, when Fitzsimmons, or some other successor, will have had nearly a year to consolidate a hold on the union presidency. Presidential teams currently are for five f UPi years. Hoffa at the last Teamsters convention in 1966 managed to rewrite the union constitution to make it virtually impossible for other union leaders to oust him. But the parole denial appeared to dash Hoffas last hopes of retaining contol of the union after more than four years in prison. The parole refusal Wednesday crushed Hoffas pledge to the unions members shortly before federal marshals whisked him in hand- cuffs to the penitentiary in 1967: Ill be bac! , God willing, sooner than our enemies would have you believe. Koffas two children, James P. Hoffa, an attorney, and leiepncto Hoffa's daughter, Mrs. Robert Crancer, and son, James P. Hoffa, pleaded for release of father. Mrs. Robert Crancer, joined his lawyers in vainly pleading for parole. The board didnt divulge its vote nor its reason for denying parole. A parole would have almost certainly put Hoffa back in the driver's seat of the worlds largest, richest, most powerful labor union, in the most view of Teamsters sources. If he is out of prison, there is no argument he will be said president, Teamsters Vice President Harold Gibbons recently. But Gibbons added that if parefle were denied, he and mosi other members of the unions executive board would oppose Hoffas running front behind bars. ; n Most Teamster national and local officials were not available for comment on Hoffas parole denial.

Support prices are not the only factor affecting milk and meat prices, the economists emphasize. Tbe price boost followed disagreement between agriculture and dairy state congressmen. Secretary of Agriculture Clifford M Hardin originally announced March 12 there would be no dairy price sup- port increase this year. Four days later Sen. lord Nelson, VUlCi 0VUUIV4I3 Gay27 and tlUIUUUVWU w bill to overturn Hardin's deciBob" sion. Rep. W. R: Poage, chairman of the House Agricuinre scheduled hearings on a similar bill. Nelson said farmers have to pay more for feed, labor and replacement stock. An Agriculture Department report noted the cost increases but concluded that record high prices and a greater labor supply would still permit a net gain in dairy income.Two days after the White House meeting, Hardin raised dairy support prices, noting that feed costs had risen. Agriculture Undersecretary J. Phil Campbell said the higher price support will cost the government up to $70 million more a year for purchases Com-mitie- e, of dairy products, estimated earlier at $380 million this fiscal year. ; . ; Under the dairy price support program, the government puts a floor under milk prices by promising to pay sr.J cents farmer $4.93 per hundred pounds of raw niitiC Farmers turn to the government if they cant get at lea'st $4.93 on the open market. ;4 Today's Thought J Thi jlor-,- huo Oi it advantage over a man of sense he is ahoays satisfied with himself.
